Not only has ChimeraLinux all the goodies I recently mentioned, but nushell and it's compatriot vivid are in the user repository also. Now that's cool!
#ChimeraLinux

Usually you grab an LTS kernel for ZFS support. Chimera Linux has zfs support for the stable (atm 7.2.2) kernel. And LibreOffice 26.08 right now. And KDE 6.7.4 servicepack 2 as well. I'll be heading back soon, a gem!
#chimeraLinux

Kudos to the maintainers of ChimeraLinux for putting such a gem together and quietly, but persistingly, updating it to the latest and greatest (here with KDE 6.7.3). Thanks! 🤓 🍻

That hybrid approach applied. Chimera Linux takes care of a great base, including KDE. I use verified Flatpaks for all major things (librewolf, vlc etc). Distrobox for that one akward application I need. Setup of that on Chimera is as painless as it can be. I do the same on Slackware, although I make some essential pkgs myself also. So, trusted base, containerized applications. No AUR here. Anymore 🤣

Mostly (points at himself) it's staring you in the face. I wanted for the work laptop: musl, zfs and encryption, no systemd, the latest KDE. And then i remembered the excellent write-up by @… , installing a Chimera Linux base with all that. And Chimera has 6.7 in the repos. A perfect combo!
